Amphetamine Radio, 6950 USB, 0033, 8/1/17.  Music, ID and apparent skit.

S5, weak with some QRN.  Music is better.

Signal significantly improved after 0130

S5 @ 0041 with occasional deep fades.
0043 - SSTV, but down to S2 to S3, very poor decode
0045 - SSTV, switched to the longwire, about S6 now
0115 - S5 with ID, then SSTV
0138 - SSTV, S7 with some fades.

It is a very noisy night here and appears to be getting worse.

Traces of audio here starting 0017z or so. SIO 111.
Around 0123 I started to get some nice peaks, and could hear Blondie.
During "Somebody To Love" around 0130, the signal was actually S9+20. foF2 must have shifted so 6950 was just barely below the MUF on this path. When that happens, you can get incredibly strong signals.
Then back into the mud again, and barely audible around 0208.
